I thought this app will make a good opportunity for me to teach my 3.5 years old boy about types of occupation and I feel that I could also use Ratatouille as an example in this app since it is quite similar (as in mouse/rat doing something out of the ordinary). Anyway, my review as below...
* Title: The Guard Mouse
* Price: $3.99
* Category: Education
* Released: Oct 16, 2012
* Version: 1.0.0
* Size: 67.4 MB
* Language: English

Description from the product page:
"Clyde, a mouse guard at Buckingham Palace, whose job is to keep wee animals from straying on to the royal grounds, gives his visiting cousins a tour of London. This story app will introduce London to children in a picturesque way."
* It is engaging and interactive and I love that we can also touch the objects in each page on the screen and the words pop out to tell you what it is!
* I love the navigation features (Home button at top right corner and Pages at bottom page)
* I was not a fan of watercolored illustrations before this but I think my perception has changed after trying out this app. The drawings on each page is simply breathtakingly beautiful!
* I used the opportunity in this app to teach my 3.5 years old boy what does a palace guard do, and also showing him the beautiful scenery and sightseeing spots in London.
* I do however feel the price $3.99 is a bit high for this app though.
